Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

What is a utility for capturing the stream coming through a sound card to file? Windows has had little simple apps like that for years.

Mplayer will capture to file with
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile name.wma http://site/media.wma for example.

That is just for streaming content from a site. Mplayer will also play a local file of course. It's not real easy if at all to get just a segment of the file or stream though. You have to start at a time postion and then stop at another one.

What I'm looking for is a utility that will record - stop where I want as I play a media file or stream and save it to file. To edit a media file.

I've got Krec but never figured out how it works. There should be a utility that will capture what is coming through the sound card, then save it to file as a media format, then it does not matter the media format of the original file or stream. Yes I understand it'll have to be a full duplex card to play and record at the same time. I have looked around a little and haven't found a simple little app yet.

I would like a open source app that is ported to Linux and BSD. I'll take what I can find.
